Issue in Data class in Kotlin

I created a data class like shown in the pic . I created an object by passing appropriate parameters and I created another object , simultaneously assigning it to the first object. Later I changed my former object's parameters and checked weather these two objects are equal or not . To my surprise , the Boolean value came "TRUE" but isn't it that the parameters of two objects are different and it should return "FALSE" ?

user2 = user1 means "make user2 point at the same instance as what user1 is pointing at". So user2 and user1 are referencing the same instance.

If you want user2 to reference a distinct instance, you can create a copy for it:

val user2 = user1.copy()
